Lima was known as the city of the kings because it was ruled by a viceroy in the colonial age; and it was the most important and richest colony of Spain back then. There were viceroys and some nobility from Spain; and nowadays a lot of rich people can still count among their friends a certain amount of European nobles, funny, isn't it? Some 500 years ago, the Incan Empire was bigger than Peru, Colombia, Brazil and Chile put together, but after the conquest Spain divided the territory in smaller parts so that it would be easier to rule. There was an indigenous population of roughly 12 million, and after fifty years of Spain dominance, the population decreased to 300 thousand. Some people don't believe in the numbers, or don't want to acknowledge the brutal colonization. Civilization or barbarism has been a recurrent theme here or in other countries, Argentina, for example, took a more active approach and they dramatically reduced the amount of indigenous population, hence you find a lot more white people in Buenos Aires today than you will find here in Lima. In the 19th century Peru became an independent country after a lot of battles with Spain, and presidents (and much more dictators that I would care to admit) became the rule. Yeah, I know none of that has anything to do with comics, but wouldn't it be great to write a story about it. I can already imagine how I would like to see it illustrated.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
